Shakshuka

This super simple recipe has rocked the house lately. Even if nobody can say it.

1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 hot pepper, fresh or dried (ancho chiles are great!)
1 jar tomatoes n juices (or three or four fresh tomatoes, tomato paste to sub for volume)
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika (smoked preferably)
1 tsp cumin
4 - 6 eggs (or 2 eggs per human being fed)
1/4 cup parsley (or something that looks like it, I've used celery leaves for the parsley effect)
1/2 cup feta cheese

Optional, but really fun adds:
Mushrooms
Kim Chi
Kale


Saute onions and garlic for 5ish minutes. Throw in the peppers, tomatoes, and spices and cook the tomatoes down for 20ish minutes, stirring occasionally.  If you have any fun optionally add them here.

Spoon a few depressions in the tomato mix and crack eggs in the holes.  The eggs will poach themselves after 5ish minutes and turn off the heat when yolks are still running but the whites have turned, well, white.  Throw on the feta and parsley and serve! Can eat with a spoon or over rice or with breadtype things if you so desire.  I'm pretty sure this is a breakfast food but I think it makes a great dinner.
